I would advise you to use the built in
password mechanism of the webserver.
If you are using apache: start with reading
the documentation for
require.
That way you can easily protect all
the files in a directory.
With your solution you only protect the
front page, the pictures themselves will still
be available directly.
I just made the same mistake when constructing
my photo archive. The front page
is password-protected, but you can sill access
the images is you know the URL. (Example: Damian,
giving his talk on Quantum::Superposition is at

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
